From Charles Festersen

Hi - Rick:

At the 49er show you told me you were collecting western"R" bottles now so I thought I would send you a photo of one, I have, that I think is unusual. It is a gravitating stopper "Amador County / Soda Works". According to Tod von Mechow it is from Jackson, Calif. circa 1875 -1880. I am not aware of any other gravitating stopper bottles with western "R"s. Are you? Just for fun I will mention that the best deal on western "R"s is the C.A. Reiners & Co soda as you get 8 curved "R"s on one bottle! - Charles
